Nothing lasts and hopefully goodness wins out

On this day, October 7, 1949 The German Democratic was established. Almost to the day, October 3, 1990 it was dissolved and the territory became part of the Federal Republic of Germany.

And on another October 7, this time 1944, Jewish prisoners at Birkenau burned down a crematorium. 

Just three months later, January 27 the Red Army arrived at Auschwitz Birkenau and liberated those who were still alive.

Nothing lasts and it often happens those who do wrong and commit evil deeds are stopped in their tracks.

And so often evil can be dressed up to look extremely refined, sophisticated, urbane and even gentle.

It happens.
